Will you be baking holiday treats this year?
Which kind?
What is the reason for putting 9x13 pan 1/2 filled with water in the oven when preheating?
Is the butter in the crust supposed to be melted? The picture seems to show a topping over the cheesecake. I'm wondering what that is. Thank you. Sorry if you've already answered these questions!
Hi there! The butter would be best softened, but not melted. Thank you for asking.. I need to clarify that in the directions.
The topping you are referring to is just caramel as a topping/garnish. It's not part of the recipe at all. 😉
OMG that cheesecake looks so good-Do you ship-LOL!!
